Ron, Jason & Andrew, Heather and I are so very sorry to hear of Claire’s passing. I have such fond memories of Claire from my youth. She was almost a second mom during high school and I truly enjoyed my time at your house in Ashland. As I recently told Jason, I still quote Claire in the real estate finance class I teach at University of Delaware. Unfortunately I cannot attend Claire’s service today because I am in Oklahoma taking a mandatory course. You guys have been in my thoughts all week and I know you will stay strong during this very sad time. Please take care and I hope to catch up next time I am in Virginia. Sincerely, Howland Redding

As her neighbor growing up in Bowling Green I have so many fond memories of special times with Claire and all the Masons (church, cheerleading, boating, Colonial Beach, swimming in our pool, endless talks about Dreamy Ronnie): Even though we really didn\’t keep in touch over the years I have always felt like the Masons were family and am sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to Ronnie, Jane Lynn, Jackie and the rest of her family. She was a sweet sole and lots of fun. Sarah Buchan Clatworthy
